‘Form 7 Misuse’ Storm In Karnataka: Voter Deletion Row Sparks Political Battle | Brass Tacks

Karnataka’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls has triggered a political storm over allegations of misuse of Form 7 to seek deletion of voters’ names. Police have registered FIRs in multiple cases following complaints of alleged attempts to remove eligible voters, including members of minority communities. The BJP has rejected allegations of a coordinated attempt to disenfranchise voters, while the Election Commission has ordered investigations into bulk Form 7 filings. Karnataka’s Chief Electoral Officer has also clarified that no voter has been deleted so far on the basis of these Form 7 objections, with applications subject to verification and due process. n18oc_indian18oc_brass-tacksNews18 Mobile App - https://onelink.to/desc-youtube
